Michael Kurtenbach recalls Janet Napolitano's election over Matt Salmon for governor in 2002. He remembers seeing her inauguration speech on TV when he was 13 and seeing her leave for Washington D.C. earlier this year. However, one thing the 18-year-old political science major at Arizona State University doesn't remember, is a man serving as Arizona's governor.
He understood his place within the first month. Arriving from a small town and placed in a large, competitive environment will do that to a student-athlete, Patrick Moran explains. He then realized how much smaller his world really is after a few weeks.
AZUSA - Robert "Bob" Garcia was fresh out of Cal Poly Pomona when he applied for a job with the Azusa Police Department. The political science and public administration major had interned at two cities and realized a desk job wasn't for him. At 22, he got hired as an officer with Azusa PD.
The story begins on a fall day at lunchtime. An undergrad, Amy Lorenz, is in Webster University's cafeteria, and a woman whose name we don't know is working the line for chicken strips. Like many undergrads, Amy's life is just coming into focus. She was an opera major but has switched to political science, because she thinks she wants to be a lawyer. She's not particularly sure why.
The economy was quite sound then, Creed recalled, and jobs were plentiful, "even for a political science major whose grades were pretty average.\n" Indeed, while times are not as bad as they were 20 years ago, especially in this market where banks did not participate in subprime lending, many institutions are forced to again look at how they do business, and make changes. At Omniglow, Creed was vice president of corporate development, a job that took him to China for a few weeks every quarter, and also gave him invaluable insight into the banking industry from "the other side of the table," as he put it.
Keli Cunningham, who just started as WVU's associate athletic director for governance and compliance Wednesday, did not set out in life looking to direct a university compliance department. I actually first came to WVU hoping to play tennis here," said Cunningham, who is from Petersburg, but has spent the past six years in the University of Maryland's compliance department. "I was a political science major with hopes of going to law school. When playing tennis here didn't become a reality, I wanted to stay involved in athletics somehow.
ETTRICK - Virginia State University (VSU) Student Government Association President Brandon Randleman was recently elected vice chairman of the Student Advisory Committee for The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV). Randleman, a junior, political science major from Windsor, also serves as the student representative on VSU's Board of Visitors.
PICO RIVERA - Along with 719 seniors at El Rancho High School, Maria Colindres will don a cap and gown and reach for that diploma on Thursday. Currently ranked No. 9 in her graduating class, the 18-year-old Pico Rivera resident earned her share of awards and scholarships. She will be a freshman at UCLA this summer where she plans to switch her major from nursing to political science.
Teachers, legislators, students and co-workers remember Zachary Marco as a kind, considerate and genuine person with a positive attitude and a bright future. Marco, a 21-year-old political-science major and honor student at Arizona State University, was shot about 9:30 p.m. October 17 near University Drive and Rural Road in Tempe while walking home from the library, according to Tempe Police.
Robert Stueber doesn't have to wait until graduation to feel the pain of repaying his student loans. He's already maxed out two credit cards to help cover expenses for the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee and can barely make the monthly payments. And six months after he graduates in May, he'll have to start repaying about $20,000 in federal loans. So the 24-year-old political science major is considering something a little counterintuitive: If he doesn't get the right job in government service immediately, he's thinking about going straight to graduate school to get his master's degree to avoid the loan payments
